After watching pretty much the best video in forever, Boondoggle, I was hyped to skate, but tired and it was looking like a solo session.  I drove from my house with absolutely no spot in mind so I decided to stop at Basemar since it’s kinda fun sometimes.  I cruised around it not feeling at it at all and ended back at my car to go somewhere else.  Two missed calls from Nate!  Rad.  We met up to skate in North Boulder by the old Albertsons which is now totally under construction.  Cool, maybe something good will come from it.  After dorking around for awhile we ended up at the little ledge in front of the salon shop. Somehow it was better than I remembered even though I only landed a front 50.  With some wax that spot could be the goods.  Next up was a weird tiny little bank.  I tried to ollie up a tall curb then axle stall it.  It only took me about 20 tries.  Ugh!  I was almost frustrated, but moved on to just dorking on the bank and doing a bad backside pivot fakie.  Then we crossed 28th to hit the democrat bench (it’s got blue lighting in it) at a bus stop.  It ended up being kinda sick, even though you can only skate it one way due to some grooves cut out of it.  I got a couple weak noseslides and Nate back 50’d all money steez.  I was trying backside 360 no complies and landing them.  Cool, it sure would be nice to finally learn that trick and to have it on the rare occasion I play Brian in SKATE.  Speaking of SKATE that is how Nate and I ended the night.  Pretty good game actually.  I was hucking nollie fs bigspin flips and got kinda close before Nate started trying them and landed it first try.  Ridiculous.  Fun night of skating.  I’ve been super busy at work.  Hopefully I’ll have some time soon to get this site better.
